Magadi™ Basket Dark Blue Lobelia Plants produce hundreds of delicate, royal-blue flowers with white markings near the center that look like a tiny mustache. These self-cleaning flower clusters cascade beautifully over the sides of hanging baskets, containers, and window boxes. Magadi™ prefers cooler weather but will bloom when it gets hot. Lobelia attracts hummingbirds.

Magazine basket dark blue lobelia

Beautiful plant. I planted it in a hanging basket in our backyard where we can view it while sitting on the porch.

Absolutely beautiful

I ordered three of these flowers along with some other plants. I am amazed at the condition they arrived in. All plants were well packed, safe and secure. These plants looked healthy and ready to bloom. I've ordered from several places in the past, but by far, GrowJoy has had the best quality plants yet.

Beautiful plants - some damage in shipment.

For the first time ever, portions of this shipment were damaged (most likely in transit). While all root balls were intact and moist, the tops of some plants were dried out and broken off at the tops. Those have been put into a separate pot with high hopes. The rest are doing very well in their new homes. I am a long-time customer of GrowJoy and will continue to be.
